Fr. Ron Lengwin and his guest Al Smith talk about Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's 1941 book titled 'A Declaration of Dependence' that has been republished by Sophia Institute Press and is available at https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/a-declaration-of-dependence
This book reveals the shocking truth you need to know in a world riddled by irrationality, emotionalism, and violence. Religion is under attack, whether from totalitarian governments or modern education. Our tacit submission to politics, “freedom,” and science has made us slaves to a diabolical New Atheism and fear.
With his prescient wit, wisdom, and fervor, Archbishop Fulton Sheen provides clarity amid propagandist lies and pagan societies united in purpose to destroy. He reminds us why we must fear what kills the soul more than what kills the body. He exposes the false prophets and philosophies at work in the world and the many “believers” who no longer worship or act in accordance with their beliefs.
Archbishop Sheen masterfully decries the divisions and hatreds in America, explaining how we have turned from God and are on the precipice, that there is “too much tolerance of evil and not enough intolerance of injustice.” The chastisements the world is facing, he declares, are a consequence of its sins; they are the result of our abandonment of God, our idolatry; and man’s attempts to replace God serve only to show that the world is devoid of goodness without His presence.
By declaring ourselves independent of God, we have brought down His wrath and made ourselves slaves to the world, the flesh, and the devil. Archbishop Sheen invites us to examine our consciences to see how we have, in fact, caused the wars in the world.
By reading this book you will see how “isms” control people where the seeds have been planted for them to be controlled. You will learn how, throughout history, God punishes to destroy evil and, at the same time, to heal His sons from their sins. In addition, you will absorb the future saint’s teachings on:
-
The presence of the Antichrist in history
-
The cause of war — whether or not it is just — and where its greatest tragedy lies
-
How to truly fight for peace, justice, and unity in our country and among nations
-
The standard to which all Christians should hold themselves
-
Why the Church is opposed to extreme militarism and pacifism
-
Why those without conscience persecute those with conscience
Best of all, Archbishop Sheen explains how God’s wrath is not capricious but is a consequence of our actions, how He is good and loving and will not let us drown in our sins, and how the key to our restoration — repentance — is readily in our grasp.

Fr. Ron Lengwin discusses with Al Smith his latest book titled - The Great Commandment - A Fulton Sheen Anthology on Love.
This book is available for purchase through Sophia Institute Press at https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/the-greatest-commandment
In today's culture, the word love is one of the most commonly misused and abused in our language. Devoid of order, misconceptions about love run rampant, steeped as we are in narcissism, secular humanism, relativism, and hedonism. Separated from God, society tragically propagates a notion of love that is, in truth, the antithesis of authentic love.
Now more than ever we need Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s wisdom, wit, and logic to refute these errors. In our sightless, irrational, and deeply polarized world, his prescient words elucidate the most divisive issues of our time. Mindful that we are all children of God, Archbishop Sheen decries anti-Semitism, racism, and sexism. He also explains what real tolerance means and why anti-hate campaigns don’t work.
The Greatest Commandment is a timely reprint of Archbishop Sheen’s two seminal books Love One Another and God Love You. This anthology of his bestselling reflections also contains quotes and prayers that he compiled to foster ecumenism and societal unity. Drawing on Sacred Scripture, the writings of the saints, and philosophy, Archbishop Sheen explains:
- The meaning of love in light of the Holy Trinity
- Why God created us to love — and to be loved
- The three types of love and the nine ingredients to charity
- How Heaven is the ultimate fulfillment of our joy, desire, and love
- Why love cannot exist without truth
- How we give the greatest glory to God at Mass by uniting ourselves to Christ
A treasure to contemplate, The Greatest Commandmentexpounds upon our deep-seated need to love God and implore His mercy by developing a personal relationship with Him through Sacred Scripture and the Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist and Confession. God’s loving quest for our souls in turn impels us to love our neighbor. Love is a decision and requires sacrifice; it is the total gift of self for another. Our witness aids the disillusioned in finding their way to God. By cooperating with God’s Love, we will bring about the restoration of the world.

Fr. Ron Lengwin interviews Al Smith about the book he edited "Lord Teach us to Pray - A Fulton Sheen Anthology.Al Smith who is the Compiler and Editor of the book - "Lord Teach us to Pray - An Anthology" published by Sophia Institute Press takes time to share some of the insights Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen wrote on the topic of prayer.
Fr. Ron discusses with Al the contents of the book and a little bit of background information about the Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Praying the Our Father, the Mass, the Holy Hour, the Stations of the Cross and much more will be the topics of discussion during their interview.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen wrote a great deal about prayer and the importance of developing the "Holy Habit of Prayer". Over the years he produced a number of small prayer books that helped hundreds of thousands of souls. Many of these are included in this anthology.
The book is dedicated to St. Joseph in honour of his role in teaching Our Blessed Lord how to pray during his life. St. Joseph was also given the privilege of adoring the Lord, first at Bethlehem and then for many years at Nazareth. It is my hope that through his intercession, Good St. Joseph will help many souls learn how to pray and adore the Lord well. Speak Lord your servant is Listening. (1 Samuel 3:10) Lord Teach us to Pray. (Luke 11:1)
